BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a thermoelement for measuring the temperature in gaseous or fluid media by means of one or more thermocouples, each comprising wires of different metals welded together, which give off a resulting electrical voltage when heated, and are configured as a measuring insert arranged in an insulating rod inserted in a heat-resistant protective tube that can be connected to a connection head, in which case the protective tube is wholly or partially surrounded by a holding tube.
[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art
[0004] Thermoelements of this kind are familiar in numerous different embodiments and have proven effective in practice for measuring the temperature in thermal process systems. Although the protective tube and / or also the holding tube are manufactured from more or less heat-resistant materials, according to the particular application, the heat input into the contact surfaces of the pro...
